My Glasses are Full

This is the time of year when my glasses are full with flowers the boys bring me, on a daily basis.

Some might call them weeds. But I don't think of them that way.

Next week is our first full week of summer vacation, for all three boys. We have lots of fun activities planned, starting with signing up for the summer reading program at the library. We also need to get to the duck pond, because that was on our bucket list last summer, and we never found the time! So we'll make sure to do that first this time around. Pierce is signed up for swim lessons for the month of June, and Cort has a dance recital.

I love wildflowers. Lucky you to have such sweet boys to bring you flowers. No definite plans for June. I would like to take a weekend and go see my son in TN during the latter part of the month. We are on the wait and see plan right now. Depends on work schedules.

Sounds like they will have a great summer! I think we will just hang here. Well, I like t go to Richmond at least once a summer, maybe a few other short trips. I was thinking, how far are you from Lexington? Every Fourth of July, they have a big hot air balloon festival. Lots of trucks come to the field and you can be right there to watch them inflate the balloons and at one point, they all take off at once. You can also get a tethered ride...there are lots of vendors and such. They have an online schedule. Would you be interested in meeting there if the weather is good?

That's the best bouquets ever! This month we'll be going on a much needed family vacation to Florida. (We've been saving up for this trip for the past two years.) Other weekends will be filled with going to the park and swimming at a nearby lake. We can't wait!

Hi Lisa,Your flowers look so nice, especially if they are coming from your children.It's awesome to know that your children will start school in September.It looks like your Summer will be a busy Season filled with many activities planned for your children and yourself.Teaching is an amazing job, because you will share your knowledge with new learners.I have got golden rewards from my former teaching career in the past when I was younger...I used to teach ESL English to foreign learners overseas.Now, I do many new different things as I've grown older.We are a stay-at-home couple.Have a terrific time, Lisa with your beloved ones!Cheers,Poet Starry.

My Arizona "Bucket List"--however long I stay here has included:1.) Visits to The Grand Canyon2.) Frequent trips to Sedona3.) One trip two days ago to Tucson.4.) A summer of riding Arabian horses (2009).

This summer, I joined a hiking group, a cycling group (but haven't settled on a used hybrid bike quite yet), enjoyed buying hiking boots, a cycling helmet, and a Camelbak back pack (that is the correct spelling too!). Also working out regularly. Aren't you glad you asked! :)
